Edit control and variable types
January 31, 2021 10:20AM
Hi,

I'm using an Edit Control MyValue for inputting a numeric value. Depending on the input mask (here it is "999999"), the Edit Control will automatically return an int or a ?-byte real. However, directly calling a procedure like

MyProcedure(MyValue as 4-byte unsigned int, ....

will fail! The procedure does not automatically convert integer (= int) to 4-byte unsigned int !!! You have to invent a new variable

NewMyValue is 4-byte unsigned int = MyValue

here, the auto-conversion feature of WINDEV works. Now, calling the procedure like

MyProcedure(NewMyValue as 4-byte unsigned int, ....

will work flawlessly.

Kind regards,
